MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006Save as WebPage
Hi, I'm using Powerpoint 2k on Windows xp. When I try to save a presentation as a webpage I get an error saying "PowerPoint found an error that it can't correct. You should save presentations, quit and then restart powerpoint" The presentation has 17 pages. If I delete all slides but the first 3 it works. The content of the first 3 slides is no different from the rest of the presentation. I also experience the same problem on an Powerpoint 2k on a windows 2k pc. Any ideas / pointers - are there any limitations to the outlook 2k 'save as webpage' functionality. Thanks Andi Hi, Could be a bunch of things but this is a good place to start :-) PowerPoint found an error that it can't correct http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00220.htm  SignatureRegards, Glen Millar Microsoft PPT MVP Tutorials and PowerPoint animations at www.pptworkbench.com glen at pptworkbench dot com Please tell us your PowerPoint / Windows version, whether you are using vba, or anything else relevant > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Andi It sounds to me like there is something on slide 4 that PPT doesn't want to convert to HTML. The first thing I would try is to insert a duplicate copy of slide 4, then delete the original one. Now, re-try the convert to HTML. See if the process dies in the same place. Next thing to try is checking slide 4 for things that aren't working as you might expect. Are there graphics that are partially on the slide and partially off? If so, that could be the problem. Copy/paste/remove old on some of those and see if that helps. A third thing to try is to create a copy of your presentation that has just slides 5 to 17. See if that converts. If so, you may need to re-create slide four. Post back and let us know if any of these ideas work.

But: if we live without making a difference, it makes no difference that we lived > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Andi Thanks for the suggestion - I tried it and the problem remains - obviously there may be another slide that is causing problems for some reason. I think I will need to save each page in a seperate presentation and then save it as a webpage in order to determine which won't work. Bizarely - If I copy slide 4 to a new presentation I can save it as a webpage quite happily. I'm not quite sure what to try now?? Did you try as Kathy suggested to make a duplicate or new slide 4 in the original presentation and see if it will compile?

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > I'm not quite sure what to try now?? I did try that and it still wouldn't compile I also tried completely deleting it and it still wouldn't compile. Slide 4 contains an excel table that has been inserted. I wondered whether it was the conditional formatting on the excel table that was causing it problems so I deleted all the other slides with an excel table on them - stilll doesn't compile. I then deleted 8 of the 18 slides and it finally did compile - but obviously I need the other 8 slides. > Did you try as Kathy suggested to make a duplicate or new slide 4 in the > original presentation and see if it will compile?

I'm assuming as an Object from an existing Excel file.Couple of things you can try. Put the Excel file into the same folder as the PowerPoint presentation before you insert, then try creating your web page. Secondly if you do not need to have live data in your presentation, you could create each Excel page as an image file and insert that into PowerPoint instead of the actual file. SignatureMichael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint >I did try that and it still wouldn't compile > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> > >> > I'm not quite sure what to try now?? Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. The excel items were inserted by copying a set of cells from an excel worksheet and then pasting them into the presentation. As a result the excel objects are completely independent from any excel file. (i.e. I send out the presentation to a number of people, they can view the presentation without any problems.) > You say that the Excel file was inserted.

How are you pasting the information as and Excel Object or as an image file? If the ,material is not sensitive could you send me a copy of the offending slide to emko@hotmail.com SignatureMichael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint > Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. The excel items were inserted by copying > a [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] >> >> > >> >> > I'm not quite sure what to try now?? The information is pasted as an excel object. Essentially the presentation is used as a monthly report where the excel tables are updated on each slide. Excel tables (i.e. an actual excel inserted object - but as a table rather than an inserted icon). As you can imagine - as it is a monthly report unfortunately it is sensitive. I created a macro to export each slide to a new presentation and then save it as a seperate web page, I put some error checking in to tell which pages will export or not. One slide just throws an error, another one causes Powerpoint to completely crash - so at least I have identified the offending slides. I think that I probably have a presentation with quite a few problems and I will have to take the time to identify each one individually.

Is it ok if the Excel data is "view-only" or must they also be able to doubleclick and edit it in Excel? If the former, try ungrouping each of the Excel objects before arfing out HTML. > > You say that the Excel file was inserted.

Try deleting slide 4 from a copy of the presentation and try saving as HTML again. If that fixes it, all you need to do is re-create the bad slide. > I also experience the same problem on an Powerpoint 2k on a windows 2k pc. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Andi ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
